B) the speed of an object in a particular direction
C) an SI unit used by scientists to express force
D) the object that stays in place in relation to an object that is moving

  • 2. Reference point
A) the object that stays in place in relation to an object that is moving
B) when an object changes position in relation to a reference point over a period of time
C) the speed of an object in a particular direction
D) when an object changes position in relation to a reference point over a period of time
Speed
  • 3. Speed
A) when an object changes position in relation to a reference point over a period of time
B) the rate at which an object moves; speed depends on the DISTANCE traveled and the TIME taken to travel that distance
C) the object that stays in place in relation to an object that is moving
D) an SI unit used by scientists to express force
Velocity
  • 4. Velocity
A) the object that stays in place in relation to an object that is moving
B) when an object changes position in relation to a reference point over a period of time
C) the speed of an object in a particular direction
D) the rate at which an object moves; speed depends on the DISTANCE traveled and the TIME taken to travel that distance
Acceleration
  • 5. Acceleration
A) the object that stays in place in relation to an object that is moving
B) the rate at which velocity (speed and/or direction) changes
C) the speed of an object in a particular direction
D) an SI unit used by scientists to express force
centripital force
  • 6. Centripetal acceleration or centripetal force
A) the object that stays in place in relation to an object that is moving
B) acceleration that occurs in a circular motion
C) the speed of an object in a particular direction
D) when an object changes position in relation to a reference point over a period of time
force
  • 7. Force
A) the speed of an object in a particular direction
B) when an object changes position in relation to a reference point over a period of time
C) a push or a pull; all forces have both size and direction
D) an SI unit used by scientists to express force

  • 8. Newton
A) the speed of an object in a particular direction
B) the object that stays in place in relation to an object that is moving
C) when an object changes position in relation to a reference point over a period of time
D) an SI unit used by scientists to express force
net force
  • 9. Net force
A) the force that results from combining all of the forces exerted on an object
B) when the forces applied to an object produce a net force of zero; balanced forces DO NOT cause any change in motion
C) happens when a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force
D) when the net force of an object is NOT zero; it takes an unbalanced force to produce any change in motion
  • 10. Unbalanced force
A) when the net force of an object is NOT zero; it takes an unbalanced force to produce any change in motion
B) happens when a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force
C) when the forces applied to an object produce a net force of zero; balanced forces DO NOT cause any change in motion
D) the force that results from combining all of the forces exerted on an object
balanced force
  • 11. Balanced force
A) when the forces applied to an object produce a net force of zero; balanced forces DO NOT cause any change in motion
B) happens when a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force
C) when the net force of an object is NOT zero; it takes an unbalanced force to produce any change in motion
D) the force that results from combining all of the forces exerted on an object
work
  • 12. Work
A) when the net force of an object is NOT zero; it takes an unbalanced force to produce any change in motion
B) the force that results from combining all of the forces exerted on an object
C) happens when a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force
D) when the forces applied to an object produce a net force of zero; balanced forces DO NOT cause any change in motion
Friction
  • 13. Friction
A) the amount of matter in an object; its value DOES NOT change because of gravity
B) the measure of gravitational forces exerted on an object; its value DOES change depending on gravity
C) a force that OPPOSES motion between two surfaces that are touching
D) the force of ATTRACTION between all objects that is due to their masses
gravity
  • 14. Gravity
A) the measure of gravitational forces exerted on an object; its value DOES change depending on gravity
B) the amount of matter in an object; its value DOES NOT change because of gravity
C) the force of ATTRACTION between all objects that is due to their masses
D) a force that OPPOSES motion between two surfaces that are touching

  • 15. Weight
A) the amount of matter in an object; its value DOES NOT change because of gravity
B) a force that OPPOSES motion between two surfaces that are touching
C) the force of ATTRACTION between all objects that is due to their masses
D) the measure of gravitational forces exerted on an object; its value DOES change depending on gravity

  • 16. Mass
A) the force of ATTRACTION between all objects that is due to their masses
B) the measure of gravitational forces exerted on an object; its value DOES change depending on gravity
C) a force that OPPOSES motion between two surfaces that are touching
D) the amount of matter in an object; its value DOES NOT change because of gravity
inertia
  • 17. Inertia
A) the characteristic of a moving body that is caused by its mass and its motion
B) the amount of matter in an object; its value DOES NOT change because of gravity
C) the rate at which velocity (speed and/or direction) changes
D) the tendency of all objects to resist any change in motion; an object at rest will remain at rest unless a force acts on it and an object in motion will stay in motion until a force acts on it
